WICHITA, Kan. -- Dr. George Tiller, a Kansas man who became one of the most famous figures in the national debate over abortion, was shot and killed at his church Sunday morning, KAKE-TV reported.

Tiller was walking into Reformation Lutheran Church at 10:03 a.m., when he was shot.

Tiller was pronounced dead when emergency crews arrived, the station reported.

Police were looking for a blue Ford Taurus with a K-State vanity plate, license number 225 BAB. Police described him as a white male in his 50's or 60's, 6'1," 220 lbs, wearing a white shirt and dark pants.

This isn't good,boys and girls....not good at all.This serial-killer piece of excrement will be held up by every abortionist and every lover of abortionists as the reason why the Secret Service needs to be assigned to guard every abortionist,every abortion mill and every lover of abortions in this country.

Police have a suspect description. The suspect is described as a white male in his 50’s or 60’s with grey hair that is balding in the middle. He is about 6’1” and about 220 pounds and was wearing a white shirt and dark pants.

The suspect was last seen in a light blue Ford Taurus, possibly an early 1990’s model. It has a K-State vanity plate and a Kansas license plate number 225 BAB.

Tiller was the victim of violence before. On June 9, 1986 someone detonated a homemade bomb on the roof of his Wichita clinic. No one was hurt

During the Summer of Mercy in 1991, protesters blocked the entrance to his facility before a federal judge ruled the protesters be arrested.

Two years later, Dr. Tiller was shot outside his clinic the evening of August 19, 1993. His wounds were not life threatening. Abortion opponent Shelly Shannon was convicted of that shooting and sentenced to prison.

When I first read this, part of me wondered if some liberal isn’t secretly behind this to get just the outcome you have listed. I used to not be so paranoid, until this surreal reality replaced what used to be. Interesting the timing of this, as it was recently released that according to polls a majority of Americans are anti-abortion/pro-life. Good way to discredit the movement and those beliefs - assassinate an abortionist.

Pro-lifers should condemn this as antithetical to their philosophy and beliefs. Hopefully, the perpetrator will be apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I will shed no tears that Teller is gone — but MURDER is MURDER.

Now, here’s the “reality check” — ALL of us who “cling to God and guns” are about to be villified and lumped into the same category as this murderer, this killer, this “terrorist.” COUNT ON IT. The Obama Regime has JUST gotten ALL the help they need to confirm Sotomayor, and to begin the process of dismantling the 2nd Amendment and “taking” our guns, as well as restricting the “free speech” of Christians, Conservatives, and critics of all things Washington.

I could not agree more. This will be portrayed by the media as a major crisis and an egregious attack on freedom. As Rahm puts it, "Never let a serious crisis go to waste." The net result? It will merely hasten the day when being pro-life is considered a hate crime.

(Obama. We kind of underestimated the creepiness.)

No doubt this ‘man’ is responsible for thousands, maybe tens-of-thousands of needless and wanton deaths. If you think his ‘passing’ is a bad thing in the cause of speaking out and ending the practice of abortion, I don’t know what to tell you. I can only say that I shall not mourn his demise, nor shall I judge others.

Ladies and gentlemen ... the problem was not this guy. The problem was (and is) the law that allows this guy to exist.

No lives were saved with this killing. These women will just go elsewhere. The problem exists today just as it did yesterday ... with the added problem of a bloodthirsty anti-abortion nut running around tarnishing the pro-life image.

Murder is wrong, period, regardless of who commits it. Rahm Emmanuel, Obama, et. al. will all use this as an example of how “hypocritical” “Christians” are, as well as to further alienate religion. Say goodbye to all portions of the First Amendment.
